Having problems with your Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Digital Camera ?

I cannot download the pictures from my Lumix DCM Z23 to my Mac

Answers :

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.\012\012\012

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.

Hi, I am in Rwanda trying to do a photo workshop with some kids. I was given a Sony Cybershot S750 to work with (in addition to my own cameras), but the owner does not have the driver on her computer and I cannot find a driver for this computer for MAC. I have a Powerbook Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I really need to be able to download pictures to this camera and it's hard to believe that I can't find the proper driver so that my MAC will recognize it.
I really would appreciate some help.

I cannot get the pictures off the camera. When I plug it into the computer the program will not recognize this camera my canon A590. So I am unable to download my pictures. I do not have this problem with any other of my cameras. At first I thought it was the usb cable, but I have tried other cables and they do not work either. Any Ideas. I use a mac computer and Iphoto program. At times, I have gotten it to work, but now nothing. Please help thanks T Riley

Deleting Videos I have no issues with deleting pictures from my cards or internal memory, but I cannot seem to delete videos from one of my cards (2G SD)while using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8.
The videos do not even show on the camera at all, even in playback mode. For some reason, every time I transfer all my pictures to my PC, it tries to download all these stored videos too.
Please help!

Hi,\015\012Based on your post/description I can only assume that somehow the videos are still there inside your memory. Probably your best bet would be to reformat your card, although you can format the memory card with your PC and a card reader, it ...
